January 16 - 20

Dates to Remember...
Fri. Jan. 13 - Gym Night at Ide
Mon. Jan. 16 - MLK Holiday
Fri. Jan. 20 - Progress Notes sent on an as needed basis
Tues. Feb. 2 - Early Dismissal
Fri. Jan. 3 - Jump Rope for Heart Assembly

Valentine Mailboxes - We will be decorating shoeboxes for our valentines.  Each student will need to bring in a shoebox covered in white or red paper.  I heard that Hobby Lobby (and maybe other stores) sell boxes that are white/red.  The box just needs to be ready to decorate.  Any questions, let me know.

Reading - We will be reading 2 texts this week, Biblioburro, and My Librarian is a Camel.
They are both nonfictions stories about traveling libraries that bring books to children in faraway villages in many different ways.  Some children receive books by mail, boat, bus, camels, donkeys, and even elephants!

We will be discussing the comprehension strategies of understanding key details in a text as well as using text features to locate facts.

Math - We will work on subtracting when there are zeros in the top number.  We'll review and take a chapter test at the end of the week.  The students are doing a great job with adding and subtracting 3 digit numbers.  Please continue to check their homework to be sure they are not making errors.  

Math Money - Our next chapter in math will focus on money and telling time.  Most students have brought in a container of coins to be used for math.  If your child brought home a reminder note, please collect the specified coins and have your child bring it to school as soon as possible.  We'll be using it next week.
